I went to the grocery store yesterday and I'm glad I did because when I went back today there wasn't a loaf of bread to be had nor water. I was very lucky today to find gas for the truck and some for the generator. I had to go to 3 gas stations before I found one with gas.

They are reversing the lanes today at 3pm on the Interstate to get all the coastal residents out - I'm 35 miles from the coast so we're not evacuating. My father is coming today to visit for 4 days and I'll have to go pick him up at the airport. That's going to be fun .. getting to the airport won't be a problem .. getting home from the airport is going to be a really BIG problem so I've been scouring google maps to find back ways from airport to home.

I'm really worried about my greenhouse since it isn't tied down I'm hoping that since it's essentially surrounded by a fence and houses that it should be ok .. I'll be moving plants into it as well as the garage and putting chairs and anything that can go flying up as well. My goal is to have everything done by tomorrow afternoon.


Stay safe!!
